$550-ish...okay. Delaware.
Well, all right, it's not in LA. But it does have "LA" in the middle of the name.
Okay, joking aside...You may ironically have to settle farther from rather than closer to LA. This is a paradox I'm seeing living here. You can either live very close/very centrally to LA proper and pay $800 (forget that mindly-schmindley $600) at a bare minimum for less house than it takes you to clean in an hour, OR you could go waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out east and see prices come down a hair again. I live in Glendora, an extraordinarily safe community, and saw three homes go up in my neighborhood last year ranging from $600-675K, but fair warning, my DH commutes an hour and fifteen to get to Beverly Hills.

good area, 500k, good schools? Well LAUSD sucks.
Good area for 500k might get you an old home thats 1000-1200sq ft.

good schools is a plus also and my husband wont mind driving 30 miles for his job so we dont have to live within the city limits.
